Mexico vs Argentina next. Oh...and if you aren't crazy about the American coverage, watch on Univision instead. The coverage is so much better!

More power to you if you can understand the Spanish coverage, I might know enough of what they're saying if they didn't talk so fast.

The actual game coverage is fine for me, the only real problems I have with ESPN/ABC is that there's not enough studio coverage and way too much US stuff (although this is coming from a not-big soccer fan who watches other nations in the World Cup as much as if not more than the US). I like all the ex-players - Foudy, Wynalda, Lalas and they don't get enough time, but I guess I can understand it with having to do all your commercials in the halftime and postgame segments.

Plus there's not enough Tommy Smyth for my liking I like his accent and wit I do like the lead commentators (the Balboa and Harkes pairings), although sometimes I listen to John Harkes and think it's Wynalda talking. And when Glenn Davis does games I wonder what's Sal Palantonio doing broadcasting a game before I catch myself and realize it isn't him

At least this Argentina-Mexico game looks like it'll break the mold of defensive stalemates, it'd be nice to see SOME entertaining games before the World Cup's finished, teams are averaging under 2.5 goals a game The Germans are one of the few teams that's fun to watch and even their game wound up 2-0.
